Real-time bus arrivals for SEPTA routes in Philadelphia.

How to use

  • Tap "Select Your Route" (or โ‰ก โ†’ Create new route) to pick a route, direction, and stop โ€” you can also add other routes served by the same stop, and optionally give it a custom name
  • Switch between saved routes using the pills at the bottom, or tap "ยทยทยท" to see and star all of them
  • The button next to the refresh icon cycles the view: bus list, map with full list, map with compact chips
  • The โ‰ก menu lets you star, name, or remove the current route, and switch between wide and mobile layouts
  • Bookmark it: the page URL always reflects your current route, direction, and stop, so bookmarking or sharing that URL brings you straight back to it โ€” "Copy link" in the โ‰ก menu copies it for you

How it works

  • Stop order and scheduled travel times come from SEPTA's official GTFS schedule data
  • Real-time bus positions are fetched from SEPTA's TransitView API every 30 seconds
  • Arrival times use the scheduled time between the bus's next stop and your stop, adjusted for the current time of day
  • Only buses that have not yet passed your stop are shown

Data & privacy

  • This app collects no data from you
  • Saved routes are stored on your device only; clearing browser storage removes them
  • If no buses appear, they may not be running or all may have already passed your stop
